Yet,
if we think about all
  that has been done,
Jesus did good deeds
  that are far better than
  anyone has ever before
  dreamed of:
walking on water,
  healing the sick,
commanding the wind,
  raising the dead.
He continued
  in spite of the worse threat
  that man could devise-
crucified
  while being mocked to death
  by His very own countrymen.
And yet,
  with a good and willing heart,
  without ever having sinned,
Jesus suffered
  for the cause of love
  as much agony as
  could ever be invented.
Thus,
in all of the world’s history,
  He has proven Himself to be
the most totally devoted,
  the most completely sincere,
the most perfectly faithful
  to righteousness.

He proved Himself
  so worthy of praise  
that God raised Him up
  from the grave.
     
Certainly,
no ordinary man
  could have done all this.
Jesus is truly
  unique among men.
His life was so unusual
  and so different,
that His life
  could not have been
  an accident.

His life was decreed
  by the destiny
that righteousness
  shall become plain to see.
And it was determined
  before His nativity
that He should come
  and do such things.

And to show that His life
  was no accident,
He was born
  of a humble virgin.
For this was not
  man’s design.
No man was responsible
  for His being alive.
He was not conceived
  by men who die.
For no one on earth
  even understood
  at the time.

But
He was brought forth
  in the hope of glory.
He was engendered
  by the ecstasy
  of being saved.
He was conceived
  by the joy of faith
  in Mary’s heart
as she believed
  the angel’s words.
For he spoke of the
  fulfillment of righteousness
and of salvation
  that would last forever.

Thus,
He was begotten of God.
  He descended from
  above.
He was the Son
  of the Most High God.                          See Luke 1:26-33
